    Is my silkie a possible roo?

    We have been having behavioral issues with our silkie this month that just won’t stop. She’s always been aloof but the other hens don’t bully her and she doesn’t really bully them herself. This morning when I let them out, she attempted to hop on our broody 12-year-old !! This has been a...

    Silkie bullying her sister a bit, what to do?

    I have a silkie named Quinn who has always been a bit independent but she’s rarely straight-up mean. Lately she’s been quick to get upset when another hen gets too close to her. I noticed the other day that she had caught some of her foot blood feathers and was bleeding, so I treated her and...

    Mycoplasmosis advice?

    Hi, I believe one of my hens has Mycoplasmosis and I’m a bit worried about her. We’ve made a vet appointment for her so she can get antibiotics, but it’s not until Thursday. Her eyes have been bubbly, her glands are swollen and she has nasal discharge. Her infraorbital sinuses are swollen, not...

    Not an emergency, looking for input on chicken occasionally eating her feathers

    Hello!! I had a question about my chicken and her feathers. Today I noticed her swallow a piece of down, which I’ve seen her do before, and just wanted to know if she’s doing alright. She doesn’t pluck her own feathers, it seems to be when she’s grooming and one happens to come out. She’s 10...

    My lovely Dawn’s 10th birthday ❤️

    Today I wanted to take the opportunity to shows some photos of my bantam mix Dawn, who turned 10 in April. She is the queen of our coop, by far at the top of the pecking order and a grumpy old lady. I have often seen her bossing around our much bigger (but much dorkier) salmon faverolles. She is...

    Frizzle gender??

    Currently babysitting 3 chicks for an acquaintance. Not sure of the genders for 2 yet (silkie and frizzle) but the frizzle is much bigger than the Polish and silkie with us right now. The silkie is also very docile, whereas the frizzle won’t even let us hold him. Will only tolerate perching...

    Rats, can’t seem to get rid of em

    I live in an urban area and we’ve had rats for years. Our coop is right next to a wooded area so I’m assuming that’s where they come from. They never bother the chickens themselves, in fact some of our hens have killed them before, but I know they carry disease which is really gross. The biggest...

    Please help, sick chicken, guessing respiratory

    I have an Easter Egger who is about 8 years old, this weekend we had a heat wave here and the weather was pretty hot but I was making sure the hens were getting plenty of water. I think she has a respiratory issue and I’m really worried about her. Usually she doesn’t like being held but she’s...

    Hen acting strange...

    Today I went to go and collect eggs from the coop, and all the girls were chipper as usual. The problem was, one of my Faverolles is acting odd... she’s acting docile, fluffed up, but chortled when I tried to move her. They’re usually much more lively? Am I just getting to worried about...

    Are my hens preening me, or just curious?

    Hi there! I was wondering about my chickens’ behaviour that I’ve noticed recently. When I’m sitting in the coop with the girls, I’ve noticed some of them like to come up to me and grab my hair. My Faverolles are particularly fond of this action, but my Brabanter does it too. The Faverolles have...

    Chickens didn’t seem to molt?

    I’m curious. My flock didn’t seem to molt this year, no big feather loss or anything. They did stop laying on a frequent basis for awhile during late August and early September, but with the cold weather, they’ve actually been laying much more?? What could cause this behaviour, and can it be...

    Will she do this again? :( got head stuck in lay box

    Hi there. I just had a really bad scare earlier. My hen Dawn got her head stuck in a space in her lay box trying to peck at an egg (I think?) And I’m really worried that it’s going to happen again. We’re planning on fixing the lay boxes, to make sure the spaces are big enough to get their heads...

    what’s up with her beak?

    hey there, not an emergency but curious about my australorp’s beak. does it require medical attention? i can’t imagine it’s comfortable eating with an “underbite” like that. she doesn’t seem to be in pain, but i know animals often hide their pain. i’ve never had a chicken with beak issues...

    Meet my flock :]

    Hi there! I thought it would be fun to do an introduction thread on my flock of chickens. I only have 9 but they’re all very important to me. First off is Dawn: She’s an 8 year old Mille Fleur D’uccle mix. Rather snappy but still a wonderful bird. She’s the leader of the pecking order, and...

    What breed mix do you think she is?

    This is my 8 year old Mille Fleur D’uccle mix, Dawn. I’ve been told she’s a silkie/d’uccle mix, but I’m not sure. I looked at pictures online and she doesn’t really match any of them. I know every chicken is unique, but was wondering if I could have some opinions! Thank you

    our blind barred holland

    some pictures of my barred holland, named barb (you know? like barb holland :p) she’s a very sweet bird. blind fully in one eye and partially in the other. surprisingly, she can move around well and eat and drink perfectly fine on her own. the only assistance she needs is regular feet cleaning...

    Not new to chickens, but new here

    Hello there! Just joining this site for fun as I like to read the forums sometimes. I have a lovely flock of 9 that I may eventually post pictures of, they’re all hens and amazing birds. As you can tell by my username, I really like Salmon Faverolles, lol. Their flighty personalities and loud...
